Knocking suspension Options

[Brody]

Basicly i have a bad knocking sound coming from my rear suspension, i have a gt4 but would imagine the set up is similar to sr,s and gt,s.
I was just wondering if any of you guys may have had a similar problem?
when the car is on its wheels and driving the noise is quite bad when you go over a bump, but when i put my car on a ramp at a friends garage and the wheels were just hanging when i tried to move them up and down there was no noise also tried puttin a lever bar under the wheels and when an inch off the ground and levering suspension up to listen for noise but nothing?
I can not work out if it is the top mount that has gone or the dampers?
Any help would be appreciated

i have the exact same problem from what you described ever since i lowered my car. does it tend to make a noise when you go around a turn pretty hard? or flex the suspesnion? i had a guy tell me that i need to replace the rear sway links b/c they'd frozen up over the years. i still need to fix them, just no money and no time. toyota told me 53 bucks a side for each link. this may be your problem. hope that helps.
